Quantitative genetic variation and developmental clocks.

Abstract excerpt

It is well-known that most genetic variation affects quantitative traits, and natural or artificial selection can act to change quantitative features of organisms more rapidly than qualitative ones. Surprisingly, variability is not confined to outbred species, but also occurs in inbred mice at a much higher rate than expected from known mutation rates. The size and shape of organisms and their constituent parts...
